My problem is when I print on the HP Laser printer and use a macro that is loaded to define the form, it does not work the way I want it to. If I print and execute the macro, the first page comes out good but all of the rest of the pages, including the duplex side do not have a template. If I print and use the macro as an overlay, the template comes out in duplex correctly but the font size gets changed.
I need some help. Can anyone help me. Thanks.
p.s.
I have examples of the macro and form if this is needed.
 
You need to enable the the macro for automatic overlay.

After the macro is downloaded to the printer, issue the code

<esc>&f###y4X

where ### is the macro ID number. Then it will print on every page.

Ooops!

What command are you using to &quot;execute&quot; the macro.

You need to call the fonts wanted in the macro from
within the macro.

Where it works properly is probably a happy coincidence
with the font setting outside the macro.

Look at the font settings, or lack thereof, within the macro.

My answer
I have done this and when in overlay mode is when the font size change happens.
 
Sounds like you have a font command in the macro, and not font command in the data.
